Question

A roll of tape is 50 yards long how many pieces of tape 2inches long can be cut from the tape

Answer 1

1 yard = 36 inches
50 yards = 1800 inches
So, the tape is 1800 inches long

No. Of small tape (2 inches) can be cut = length of long tape/length of small tape
= 1800/2
= 900 pieces

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence 900 pieces of tape 2 inches long can be cut from the tape

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of tape = 50 yards

1 yard = 36 inches

50 yards = 1800 inches

So, the tape is 1800 inches long

Now we are given that length of small tape is 2 inches

We are supposed to find how many pieces of tape 2 inches long can be cut from the tape

So, No. Of small tape (2 inches) can be cut =$\frac{\text{length of long tape}}{\text{length of small tape}}$

                                                                      =$\frac{1800}{2}$

                                                                      =$900$

Hence 900 pieces of tape 2 inches long can be cut from the tape
